Efrim Manuel Menuck (the co-founder of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion) has shared a 16-minute track, “Baby It Has To Fall“, which is the second entry in Constellation’s Corona Borealis Longplay Singles series and it’s exclusive to Bandcamp and PWYC during the first week of release.
Listen to “Baby It Has To Fall” along with an accompanying video, created by Menuck and Michele Fiedler Fuentes, below:
“Baby It Has To Fall” is PWYC on Bandcamp for the first week of release, during which time Menuck’s previous Constellation digital album discography will also be on sale. All proceeds from all sales go 100% to the artist, as part of Constellation’s pandemic initiative for immediate artist support.
THE CORONA BOREALIS SERIES:
These longform singles will drop weekly in Autumn 2020 and Winter 2021 and will be PWYC (no minimum) during the first 48 hours of release. Each artist’s Constellation digital discography will also be specially-priced on Bandcamp during the week of their single releases. The label simply wishes to enable and encourage ongoing discovery, means-based value, and low-carbon-impact support for active artists in their immediate label community – particularly during these trying times, and in lieu of their usual album-oriented release schedule which resumes in Spring 2021.
